Israeli public opinion is pushing hard for more war even as Trump tries to broker peace with Iran, bad news for anyone hoping the fighting winds down soon.

• Polls show most Israelis want to keep fighting Iran and push deeper into Lebanon, while 60% of Americans now hold an unfavorable view of Israel.
• Netanyahu is losing support in the north, but it's because voters think the war on Hezbollah hasn't gone far enough, not because they want it to stop.
• His main rival, Naftali Bennett, is campaigning on even more aggression toward Iran, so a change in leadership likely means more war, not less.
• Attacking Lebanon is a red line for Iran, which says it won't make a peace deal with the US while Israel keeps bombing and occupying Lebanon.

Outlook: With both the public and the opposition pushing for escalation, Israel is unlikely to pull back, which could sink Trump's Iran peace effort.
